You would have to run a check to see if they have a certain key like so:

mob/Login()
    ..()
    if(usr.key=="Nadrew")
        src<<"Sorry Nadrew we tricked you into a DBZ game so to save you the trouble"
        del(src)
    else
        //Put all of your other login code here and change my key and set the icon  rather then deleting

I'm working on something similar right now with my own project, in choosing colors. The player's mob is transported to a special map where there are colors to choose from. The different-colored mobs will be overlaid by a white circle indicating it's their current color, or a red circle with a slash to show that that color is taken. (Some of this code isn't implemented yet, mostly because I have yet to run any kind of multiplayer test.)

If you choose this setup, what you'll want to do will be to make a map area with objs that have the various character icons. (Either that, or put them in the stat panel.) When the player clicks on these, or uses the arrow keys, or however else you want to do this, that obj's icon is transferred to the player's mob. Then, disable the obj so no other player can click it; and use some kind of indicator to show that it's taken. Just remember that once you run out of character icons, you'll need some other way of assigning them to new players, unless you want to limit the number of players in your game.

Are you making the barrier proc into a verb? or do you have a different verb for it?

mob
proc

usr.overlays+=/obj/overlays/Barrier

Almost right. You want

usr.overlays += new /obj/overlays/Barrier

What you were doing before (usr.verbs += /mob/proc/Barrier) worked fine, if it was properly indented.

Yup. If you want it to appear on the level you explicitly give it, use FLOAT_LAYER. Or if you want an exact level I'd try MOB_LAYER - 0.5.

Anyway, I've been naughty, so no freebies. =P
